Couple fleeing traffic stop go wrong way on I-5
SEATTLE -- A couple fleeing a traffic stop drove the wrong way for about three miles on I-5 Thursday afternoon but luckily didn't cause any collisions.
State patrol troopers tried to pull over a car with a man and woman inside on N. 85th Street, just west of I-5, said Sgt. Keith Trowbridge.
The driver fled and drove the wrong way up the 85th Street exit and began driving north on the shoulder of the southbound I-5 lanes, Trowbridge said.
The car exited going off the on-ramp at NE 130th and on to city streets.
Seattle police joined the search for the car and found it abandoned a few blocks away on N. 125th Street. Troopers coming to the area spotted a man and woman walking down the street who fit the description and they were both arrested.
Trowbridge said troopers were seeking a search warrant for the car, where it's suspected the couple may have left drugs.
No one was hurt during the ordeal.
